# Create Staff and Organisational Data

Use the **Create** actions within the Configuration tab of the People section to add new staff, groups, organisational details, and verification systems. This sets the foundation for compliance workflows in Sprinto.

### 1. Add Staff

You can add staff through integrated HRMS/IDP providers or manually.

Here's a short video on how to set up the People module.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sprinto.com/data-library/people/dashboard-actions/create-staff-and-organisational-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
